from some stuff i was reading today it seems the chance of a hung parliament is looking very likely ( more hung the better!!  )
is this really a bad thing?
maybe less of one parties agenda and more power sharing?/ xx |

If you took the best bits from all UK parties, and I mean more than the big Three, then between them you could make a half decent manifesto.....
Unfortunately they are so bitchy in the House of Commons it would be all but impossible to get their heads together. |

the way parliament works is a complete joke
they cannot work purposly as a team , all they do is to oppose eachother and ridicule whatever the other side does or thinks ( unless its during wartime )
they all lie cheat and fiddle
if a person is daft enough to vote for a party they have to vote for a package deal
mayby ..... a bit more for pentioners , more schools and smaller clases , 2p off the rate of income tax , but they add on that they will shoot your granny
so in general when you vote invariably you will be voting for something you dont want
its a system that makes people think they can make a difference , but in reallity its all stiched up like a box of kippers
and i wouldnt play any part of it , be it hung , drawn , or quatered |

The Positive Case
It’s important to put forward the positive case for a hung parliament, too. Here are some of the key reasons why a hung parliament could be a good thing.
1. A hung parliament means more representative government.
Our first-past-the-post voting system means that at the moment we have a government that only won 35% of the vote. A hung, or balanced Parliament will better represent what the voters want, and will force MPs to the more thoughtful of and responsive to public opinion.
2. A hung parliament could mean reform of the voting system.
As a condition of forming part of the governing coalition, the Liberal Democrats could demand a reform of our voting system – like introducing proportional representation. This means that a hung parliament could result in vital changes to make our voting system fairer.
3. A hung parliament means people getting interested about politics again.
A parliament where there is real debate on real issues, where power is still ‘up for grabs’, will encourage people to get involved in the political process, because they feel that they can have a say in parliamentary decisions. If one party simply ‘wins’ and starts running the country on its own, many people will feel that their voices are not being heard, and they will lose interest. |

Ill stick me neck out and say it wont happen xx
I know what the media is saying but it wont happen
At the end of the day all i want ta see on Friday is a government with a majority mandate from the people and a democratically elected leader not just someone we had no choice over
If the country does that i will respect that government be it Tory,Labour or Lib Dem xx |

"I like the idea of a hung parlaiment
force them to have to agree on things
its worked well in other countries, no reason why it acannot do the same here"
I agree but the press have been doing a lot of scare mongering by misinforming the readers. A hung parliament will not be a negative thing and as you've stated it works well in other countries and it also got us through WW2 |
